Who's more manly in their Wranglers, Earnhardt or Favre?

Hey, here's a topic football fans aren't sick of: Brett Favre! And here's a topic NASCAR fans aren't sick of: Dale Earnhardt Jr.! Why not combine 'em together for a tough-guy Wrangler ad campaign? It'd be the nexus of overhyped sports stories!

Well, that's exactly what Wrangler did, and Wednesday on ESPN's Sports Nation, Colin Cowherd took on the question of which overexposed pitchman was actually more manly, and thus more deserving of the Wrangler brand. Here, check it out:

You know, I'm not what you'd call Colin Cowherd's biggest fan, but he's got a point here. Favre is a wimpy whiner, Earnhardt -- win or lose (a lot) -- is more of a guy's guy. Sports Nation disagreed with Colin and me, which just means that a lot of people are wrong.

Boy. Danica one post, Favre the next. I just need to get Michael Vick in here somehow to hit the page-view trifecta. Maybe if Tony Stewart's monkey fought some of Vick's dogs ...
